Description

We begin by discussing a new AI index comparing AI startups on Euronext Growth Milan (EGM) with Italy’s FTSE index—showing AI outperforming by 42%. They highlight a €3.2M round raised by Nova Talent, a talent-tech company blending professional networking with AI-driven recruitment. The conversation reveals how AI companies, including non-AI-native firms, are rapidly integrating AI, and many now generate significant revenue outside the EU. A segment discusses growing demand for AI and data science professionals across Italy, especially in southern regions, with PyTorch expertise leading to premium salaries. The episode closes on how academia may struggle to meet this accelerating demand for AI-skilled workers.
